The people who opposed it didn't care about it, and the people who discussed it reached an agreement, and after Murong reported to Mrs. An, he made a post to invite Duchess Weiguo to sit in the house, obviously as a guest, but actually to discuss marriage.

Because the time was set for the day after tomorrow, An Shiting invited Zhong Siye to live in the Hou Mansion, saying that it could save the trouble of running back and forth.

Chihiroju is close to the suburbs, and it takes a lot of time to get back and forth.

Zhong Siye didn't agree at first, but only reluctantly nodded under An Ruolan's expectant eyes.

An Ruolan was overjoyed and wanted to arrange a place for him to live in person.

An Shiyan looked at it from the side, and his eyes were hot.

However, he didn't have the extra heart to envy and jealousy, and there was a Fang Bining waiting for him to arrange.

Zhong Siye is a distinguished guest, and with An Shiting's tacit approval, An Ruolan naturally chooses the best guest room for him, and even the layout of the room, she cares about it, and arranges it according to Zhong Siye's preferences.

I was busy until the evening, and I got it done and invited Zhong Siye.

Looking at the familiar furnishings in the room, Zhong Siye nodded with satisfaction, shook his fan and said, "Father-in-law didn't hurt you in vain, all these years of hard work are worth it." ”

An Ruolan couldn't help but sneer at him, covered her lips and smiled: "It seems that everything is said for me." ”

"Part of it is counted, after all, the father-in-law is a great mediocre people, and he has the world in his heart, of course, he wants to create well-being for the great mediocre people." Fourth Master Zhong said angrily.

An Ruolan stuck out her tongue and said, "Third Brother Meng is worthy of being your junior brother, and he speaks in a tone. ”

Zhong Siye waved his hand, his face full of modesty.

The father and daughter laughed, and when the red glow faded, someone came in front of them, and dinner was ready.

An Shiting specially ordered the kitchen to set up two sumptuous tables, one was to entertain Zhong Siye, and the other was to wash the dust for An Shiyan and Fang Bining.

An Wensheng and An Wenyan's brothers were all called over to accompany the guests, and Fang Bining sat at the table of the ladies and talked with the old lady.

Everyone was very curious about the strange woman An Shiyan brought back, especially the juniors, who speculated whether this woman would become their new fifth aunt, but because the elders were all there and they were afraid of An Ruolan's face, everyone didn't talk much.

A meal that was enjoyed by both the guests and the hosts.

After the meal, the ladies gathered in the old lady's room to greet Fang Bining, there were no women present, the men spoke a lot more casually, An Siye was open-mouthed, and asked directly: "Fifth brother, that Fang girl, are you going to bring it back and plan to be a concubine or a wife?" ”

As the words fell, the table fell silent.

Fourth Master An didn't care at all, and while meditating on himself, he smiled and said: "It's a pity that my brother-in-law has become a madman, I knew that this was the case, I should have let my brother and daughter-in-law marry back then, and I could have saved today's tragedy." ”

In the past two years, although An Siye has surrendered to King Gong, because it is a secret move, he can only pretend to be neutral until now, so he naturally has no way to get King Gong's support, so he can only continue to be nameless.

Therefore, he thinks that he has no talent, and he naturally looks at the brothers who are sitting higher and higher, and he has to find an opportunity to say something sour and disgusting.

An Shiyan's face changed a few times, thinking that Fourth Master An was the old lady's parent, and the old lady had the grace to nurture and teach him, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and ignored it.

An Shiting frowned slightly, and said, "Fourth brother, you drank too much." ”

With his eyes, he motioned to his subordinates to send An Siye away.

The two family members came up to help people up, An Siye shook off their hands, raised his voice, and was even more presumptuous, saying, "I'm not drunk!" Eldest brother, back then, my mother was supposed to marry Meng Shi to me! If I had married the Meng family back then, where would our Hou Mansion still be the scene it is today? ”

An Shiting glanced at Fourth Master Zhong, his brows furrowed even tighter, and said angrily: "Don't send Fourth Master back to the room soon!" ”

The two family members should be and want to go to help Fourth Master An, Fourth Master An didn't let them get close at all, pulled his throat, patted the table and said: "Now Meng Guofu doesn't have anything to do with our Hou Mansion, in the final analysis, it's all the fault of the fifth child!" If he doesn't help the family, he still keeps causing trouble, and his father should have kicked him out of the Hou Mansion a long time ago! ”

After yelling, he hiccuped, stumbled under his feet, and stood firm on the table.

"If I had married the Meng family, I would have been on the rise a long time ago, where would I still grovel to others everywhere like now!" Waving his sleeves, he didn't forget to bring up the old things again, pointed at An Shiyan and said, "It's all you!" You, you not only robbed my father's love, but also robbed me of my luck, isn't it, isn't it a cheap concubine, why are you fighting with me, I am the sister-in-law of the Hou Mansion! ”

Speaking of the back, he slapped the table and stomped his feet, his face was red and his ears were red, and he looked like a drunk.

As the saying goes, wine strengthens people's courage, after drinking some wine, what should be said and what should not be said, An Siye dared to say it, this is what he said in his heart, he has been pressed in his heart for decades, if it wasn't for the old Hou Ye moving out of the Hou Mansion, he wouldn't dare to say it. At the moment, while he was a little drunk, he poured beans through a gourd and kept talking.

An Shiyan's face was blue and white, and he couldn't say a word.

Zhong Siye looked like he was out of the way, holding on to the wine glass and sipping the wine in the glass, as if the farce in front of him did not exist at all.

An Shiting was embarrassed, and peeked at Zhong Siye's face from time to time, and saw that his expression was the same, so he felt a little better. He helplessly glanced at Second Master An and Third Master An.

Second Master An and Third Master An understood, stepped forward to set up Fourth Master An, and coaxed like a child: "Fourth brother, you drank too much, the second brother and the third brother will send you back to the room, and the brothers will drink again another day." ”

Unexpectedly, Fourth Master An didn't even give face to the two brothers, and shouted: "You three concubines breathe out of one nostril, don't touch me with your dirty hands!" ”

directly shook off the hands of Second Master An and Third Master An.

At this time, Second Master An and Third Master An's faces also became unsightly.

Fourth Master An was about to point at An Shiyan's nose and scold, but Fourth Master Zhong, who had not moved, suddenly applauded and smiled: "I have heard that Fourth Master An is famous for a long time, and I can see it today, it is better to meet if it is really famous." ”

Hearing this, An Shiting's brothers looked at each other, which one is Zhong Siye singing?

A few people had to wait and see.

An Siye was so drunk that his head was dizzy, and when he heard the praise, he immediately straightened his clothes and arched his hand: "I have long heard of Zhong Siye's unique discernment. ”

"Awards, awards." Zhong Siye waved his hand modestly, and then changed his words, and said with a smile on the corner of half of his mouth: "However, everyone has this love for beauty, although An Siye is famous, but in terms of appearance, it is really a little unsatisfactory, no wonder Mrs. An chose An Wuye back then, but did not choose you, after all, no one wants to wake up in the middle of the night with a nightmare, and then be scared half to death by the person next to the pillow, what do you say?" ”

The smiling appearance has nothing to do with the ridicule in the words.

An Shiting and the others couldn't help laughing.

An Siye's brain was not good, and it took a while to react, and he shouted angrily: "Okay, you Zhong Yanxi, you dare to say that I am ugly!" ”

"No, no, no!" Zhong Siye denied it again and again, and sighed: "The fourth brother An misunderstood, I just want to say that Meng Shi has eyes but no beads, only looks at the appearance, not the inside, and even the four brothers An has not seen the truth, goodness and beauty with great connotation, only the face of An Wuye has its appearance, it is really superficial, superficial!" ”

After that, he sighed sadly and angrily.

"......" An Shiyan twitched the corners of his mouth, daring to love this person, and scolded the three of them.

An Siye took a slow half-beat, and nodded in agreement after reacting.

Zhong Siye said again: "Na, being a man, the most important thing is to be happy, although this is a world that looks at faces, but ugliness still has a future." As long as the four brothers work hard and struggle for another forty or fifty years, they will definitely be able to get ahead, brother, I believe in you! "I almost patted my chest and promised.

Fourth Master An was already dizzy by his words, and he staggered and couldn't stand steadily.

Second Master An and Third Master An took the opportunity to set him up and dragged him out.

An Shiting arched his hand to Zhong Siye in embarrassment: "Let the four Zhong brothers laugh, my brother doesn't drink well, and if he drinks too much, he will talk nonsense." ”

He said to An Shiyan again: "Fifth brother, don't take it to heart, your fourth brother doesn't think like that in his heart." ”

An Shiyan nodded silently.

Glancing at Fourth Master Zhong, who had recovered to a leisurely posture, An Shiyan paused, and the words of thanks were finally unspoken.

Zhong Siye glanced at him, carelessly, just as if he hadn't seen anything.

Second Master An and Third Master An sent Fourth Master An back, came back and drank a few glasses, and a few people dispersed.

Zhong Siye returned to the guest room, but as soon as he sat down, someone outside reported: "Miss Sixth asked someone to send Mr. Zhong a sobering soup." ”

"It's just in time." Fourth Master Zhong smiled and said, "Bring someone in." ”

There was an answer outside, and after a while, I saw a beautiful maid in green clothes walking into the door with a food box.

Zhong Siye recognized it and said, "Are you the green vulture next to Baomei?" ”

The people around the righteous girl, he has investigated and noticed, and they are called by a name.

Seeing that Zhong Siye called out his name, the green eagle was excited, and the hand holding the handle of the food box trembled slightly.

She gave a salute and said softly: "The slave and the green vulture greet Mr. ”

With a charming corner of his eyes, he peeked at Zhong Siye, with spring in his eyes.

"......" Zhong Siye was silent, and when he saw the makeup that the green eagle had specially dressed up, his eyes were full of anger.

Knocking on the fan, he said: "Put the things away, go back and tell your young lady, there will be something for Bailing to send over in the future, and you can't see dirty things in your eyes." ”

With that, he ignored the vulture's instantly pale face, and waved his hand to let the attendant drag the person out.

The green vulture didn't dare to say a word.

This matter can't be hidden from the people in charge of the front and back yards, Murong got the news, and immediately beat the people who were arranged to serve in Zhong Siye's room, hesitated, but did not tell An Ruolan.

After returning to the east courtyard of Yirong Garden, the green vulture did not dare to make a noise, and forced herself to calmly wait for An Ruolan to freshen up and go to bed.

When removing makeup, An Ruolan asked casually: "Where did you just go?" The lark is looking for you everywhere. ”

The vulture's hand holding the grate shook and pulled his scalp.

"Ahh An Ruolan snorted bitterly.

"Why was it so careless!" Bai Ling snatched the grate and said, "Look at your lost soul, I'll keep vigil today." "Squeeze the vultures aside.

The green vulture hurriedly knelt down and asked for sin: "Miss forgive me, the slave doesn't have a heart!" ”

For such a trivial matter, An Ruolan didn't intend to blame her, and said, "Okay, you go down, and let Bailing keep vigil for you tonight." ”

The vulture was frightened, how could he manage the vigil, and he responded reluctantly, and went down to rest.

After the person left, Bai Ling combed An Ruolan's hair and said, "I don't know where I went for a turn, as if I lost my soul." ”

"You should say less." An Ruolan smiled helplessly.

The master and servant took care of it and rested without mentioning it.

Early the next morning, just after breakfast, Xiang Ye came to the door, and he came to pick up Fourth Master Zhong.

An Ruolan was puzzled and asked, "Does Uncle Xiang want to take his father-in-law to the General's Mansion?" ”

"There are a lot of girls in the Hou Mansion who have not left the cabinet, it is always a little inconvenient for your father-in-law to live here, and the General's Mansion is not far from the Hou Mansion, and it is the same in the past." Xiang Ye's tone was quite gentle, but his face was not very good-looking.

An Shiting and Murong knew about last night's incident, and they were very grateful for Zhong Siye's silence, and the couple were also worried that something would happen again, so they didn't stay longer, the two just felt strange, why did General Xiang come to pick it up in person? What is the relationship between the two?

Although An Ruolan was puzzled, she didn't force her to stay, and sent Zhong Siye out.

Seeing off Fourth Master Zhong, An Ruolan felt very uncomfortable, so she asked people to inquire, but the Murong clan had already issued a ban, so she naturally got nothing.

The vulture breathed a sigh of relief, but it was too early to rejoice.

The trivial matters of the Hou Mansion will not be mentioned for the time being.

The Patriotic Mansion was full of joy.

When Duchess Wei Guo received the post, she was so excited that she danced, she originally thought that there was no hope, but she didn't want to make such a sharp turn, how could she not be happy? She also secretly vowed to be doubly good to her future daughter-in-law!

Immediately, people carried all the prepared dowry out of the warehouse, and after counting, they added a lot of them, and they were satisfied.

Wei Xing was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night.

On the appointed day, the Duchess of Wei Guo invited a famous hairdressing woman in Shengjing, dressed herself and Wei Shao in a dignified and elegant manner, and cleaned up the father and son of Wei Xing, and the family took a generous gift and happily rode a carriage to visit the Marquis of Wenxin.

A family of four went out on the front foot, and Zhuang Mei collected a lot of precious objects on the back foot, carrying the burden to take Qin Yiqing away.

Qin Yiqing stubbornly refused to leave, and said, "I'm not reconciled, I won't go." ”

"If you don't leave, do you really want to be a concubine for Wei Xing?! As a concubine, they don't want you! You listen to your mother, and now leave with your mother, with your talent and appearance, plus all this silver, are you still worried that you can't find a good man?! ”

Zhuang Mei said bitterly, "You also have to think about it, if you don't leave, will you wait for the county lord to enter the door and give you a good look!" ”

Qin Yiqing was unmoved, and only repeated: "I'm not reconciled, I won't leave." ”

Zhuang Mei had no choice, she was reluctant to give up her only daughter, and she stomped her feet and stayed.

On this day, the Wenxin Marquis Mansion opened the door, and as when An Ruojin discussed relatives earlier, An Shiting's brothers exchanged their bathing time with their colleagues to welcome distinguished guests at home.

An Shiting asked the old marquis to invite him three times, but he was rejected every time, so he made his own decisions and invited the old lady to the throne as a speaker.

On this day, An Ruolan did not see guests, and only waited in the backyard for people to send news back and forth. R1152
